Everything DiSC Work of Leaders lays out a clear path for helping leaders at all levels make the connection between their DiSC® personality style and their leadership style. Bringing together best practices from 300 experts in over 150 organizations, the important work of the most prominent scholars, and over four years of additional research and development, this all-inclusive training program approaches leadership as a one-to-many relationship.
